The reports required of all other agencies shall:
(a)  Delineate the federal funds received for the preceding fiscal year;

(c)  Identify the date, if known, on which federal funds are set to expire;
(d)  Identify any obligations, agreements, joint exercise of powers agreements, maintenance of effort agreements, or memoranda of understanding that may be impacted by federal or state decisions regarding federal receipts, including any state matching requirements; and
(e)  Calculate the percentage that constitutes federal funds to the total appropriation for the state agency for the fiscal year.
(2)  If an agency receives notice of a reduction in federal funding from a specific federal grant of fifty percent (50%) or more from the previous year’s funding, it shall develop a plan to either reduce or eliminate the services provided through the grant or to continue the services without a shift to state resources. The plan shall be included in the report required under subsection (1) of this section.
